You can use choice for simple menus...
view layout [choice "aa" "bb" "cc" [probe face/text]]
Something I noticed recently though was the choose function...
>> ? choose
USAGE:
CHOOSE choices function /style styl /window winf /offset xy /across
DESCRIPTION:
Generates a choice selector menu, vertical or horizontal.
CHOOSE is a function value.
ARGUMENTS:
choices -- Block of items to display (Type: block)
function -- Function to call on selection (Type: function none)
REFINEMENTS:
/style
styl -- The style choice button (Type: object)
/window
winf -- The parent window to appear in (Type: object)
/offset
xy -- Offset of choice box (Type: pair)
/across -- Use horizontal layout
This is the most simple use of it...
choose ["aa" "bb" "cc"] func [face][probe face/text]
How you'd make use of it for more complex menus within a window I've not looked into
though.
